Anxiety is nothing to do with age. You don't need to worry whether you are 'grown up' or not. Other people might tell you to 'grow up' but in truth, they don't know what they're talking about, anxiety has absolutely nothing to do with it.

It's the same as telling a depressed person to pull themselves together, stop crying and feeling sorry for yourself. That's actually damaging rather than helpful, but it's a common response from people who don't know anything about mental health.

If you can let that 'grow up' thing go, that might help you. x
